Area of Practice

Wills & Estates

The process of putting one’s affairs into order to protect a spouse and provide for one’s family involves considerations that are often tied as much to personal values, family circumstances and lifetime experiences as they are to financial considerations. In these situations, guidance and counsel from a sensitive and knowledgeable advisor who understands both the client’s specific needs and the tax laws that are implicated will foster the process.
